I believe Marco Rubio is having a MONEY BOMB 2morrow (Feb 10). Jim DeMint is pushing it. I recommend supporting Rubio directly. Nothing like showing the RNC that there’s plenty of money available, just not for RINOs.

I’m planning to pony up $209.12 - that’s my policy, always add 9.12 to the end just to make the point. That would be my second recommendation to “y’all” - add $9.12 to any contribution.

GOP strategists fret that RNC Chairman Michael Steele's unorthodox management style will mean missed opportunities in November.

Hey strategerists, it's not Steele's managmenet style that's the problem. McCain, Snowe, formerly Specter, Graham just to name a very few. Don't you guys read the comments in the envelopes you send out? You know, the ones asking for money but are returned without any?

Here’s two reasons the RNC isn’t receiving any money from me these days:

1. I received a donation request in the mail that was made to look like a bill with the words “PAST DUE” stamped boldly upon it.

2. I received a donation request with no identifying markings on the envelope to warn that it was coming from the GOP. Instead it had “Department of the Auditor” (or somesuch) on the envelope with an address in Washington, DC. I thought I was getting audited. I was FUMING when I discovered it was just a solicitation for cash.

The GOP better get smart. These kinds of mailings have put me in the mood to never give them another dime.

There is no cash problem with direct donations to Conservatives... the rnc knows where their problem lies... but they choose to remain the nelson rockefeller wing of the repubic clan.

Those sound like DNC false-flag operations.

Not that I'm defending the RNC, mind you. Screw them.

I would just as soon see the RNC go the way of the covered wagon.

“Steele is the perfect example of what happens when you allow racial considerations to come into play in deciding on executive—or any other, for that matter—appointments.

You’d think that Republicans would know this”.

WINNER!

Those of us who lived in Maryland at the time tried to tell people who and what(RINO) Steele was. No one wanted to listen much, just got “Oh, he’s a black guy, aren’t we wonderful..”

Steele was a crappy Lt. Gov. and Ehrlich was a pandering twit who knew exactly what he was doing having Steele as a running mate. Steele did not run for a second term because he started believing he was electable to congress. Fail, epic. Ehrlich tried the same thing again when Steele left by nominating a legally blind white woman as his running mate. Didn’t work.

Steele is not a conservative, never has been and never will be. He needs to be retired and soon.

Steele can ride it all the way west but he might need to hitch it to some donkeys first

The NRC is reaping what it's sowed.
Supporting the "business as usual" fat cats and ignoring the reformers running for office. I personally vowed not to contribute one cent when it became obvious they were as much a part of the problem as the democrativ kooks.
The RNC are really slow learners too.

If they are not willing or able to fight the "Progressives" in an all-out war, (except for the last few months) they should all resign and allow fresh blood to try.

This issue of the RNC getting money actually goes back to the 2008 election cycle when many Republicans were disheartened by the GOP. Now, instead of sending the RNC money, most would rather send individual candidates money.

However, Steel does need to raise more cash. That is part of his job description. If he can continue to win elections and do well in November, than many we can overlook that.

Hey RNC! We don’t trust you with our money. We’d rather pcik our own candidates and fund them directly. It seems to work much better. Close up shop. Go home and let us do the job.

You know all those “IMPORTANT SURVEY”s the RNC sends to your house?
Call the RNC headquarters ( 202.863.8500 ) and ask them for the results. They don’t even read them. They just take out the money and throw the surveys in a box to be thrown away.

Steele ran for Senator, that’s why he didn’t run for re-election.

The conservative candidates will get the donations from the grass roots, but the RNC won’t be able to get their reef out of the money.
